Is it time to replace the Big Five personality model? Factorial structure of the NEO PI-R in a community sample of Spanish adults
Recent studies have revived the issue of whether the five-factor personality model or Big Five is the most valid to summarize the most relevant personality traits or whether, on the contrary, the basic structure of personality traits would better fit a six-factor model such as the HEXACO model: Honesty-Humility (H), Emotionality (E), Extraversion (X), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), and Openness to Experience (O). In a Spanish community…
Complicated Grief in a Spanish Sample of Victims of Terrorism
The Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) is the most widely used instrument to measure complicated grief (CG), but its psychometric properties have hardly been examined in relatives of those who died by violent means. The objective of this study was to obtain evidence of validity of the ICG in a relatives of those who died due to terrorist attacks in Spain. The factorial structure, internal consistency, and relationship with depression, anxiety, …
Psychological Factors Associated with Poor Hypertension Control
Only one-third of patients with hypertension under pharmacological treatment achieve the recommended blood pressure goals. Psychological factors could partially account for poor hypertension control through the existence of personality traits related to treatment compliance (e.g., self-discipline, deliberation, impulsiveness), and the fact that stress and some personality traits (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger expression, Type A) are involved i…
Blood Pressure Variability and Stress Management Training for Essential Hypertension
The purpose of this study was to determine whether stress management training reduces blood pressure (BP) variability in hypertensive patients. Previous literature suggests that cardiovascular risk is not only a function of BP levels, but also of BP variability, and this partially depends on changes induced by the stress of everyday life. The authors reanalyzed data from a previous study of 43 male patients with essential hypertension who were ra…
Comparison of Clinic, Home Self-measured, and Work Self-measured Blood Pressures
Self-measured and clinic blood pressure (BP) estimates of patients' true levels of BP were compared as part of a controlled study of stress management training for essential hypertension. Forty-three patients underwent 6 to 9 clinic measurements and made 48 self-measured readings of BP at home and at work before and after treatment. Analyses showed that (a) self-measured BP values at work and at home were significantly correlated with each other …
